Pricing Issues Reported by Users
Bitwarden price increase 2026 - Premium nearly doubled to $19.80/year
In January 2026 Bitwarden raised Premium from $10/year to $19.80/year ($1.65/month billed annually) and Families from $40/year to $47.88/year. Bitwarden bundled vault health alerts, password coaching, 5 GB attachment storage and support for up to 10 security keys. Existing subscribers are notified 15 days before the new price applies at renewal; reactions were mixed, though most note it is still cheaper than 1Password and Dashlane.
Bitwarden free plan has no built-in authenticator or file attachments
The free plan covers unlimited passwords, devices, passkeys and Send, but integrated TOTP codes, file attachments, emergency access, security reports and vault health alerts require Premium. Free users can share items with only one other user via a two-person organization.
